I was happy to see Marc Andreessen’s recent comments supporting remote
work (via
Gigaom):

@om Need to get to day when most physical travel viewed as inherently
silly, when can be virtually anywhere anytime from home.

@om Only way for 10B people to live full modern lifestyles without
destroying planet. Bandwidth everywhere, max software, max virtual.

If self-driving cars are a moon shot, then so is remote work. I used
to drive about an hour each way to work; a self-driving car would have
let me use that time productively, rather than endure two hours a day
of stress, danger, and tedium. But it would have been even better if
I didn’t have to get in a car at all.

It’s surprising how many tech enthusiasts are anxiously waiting for
someone to build them a self-driving car, when they could be working
remotely today. Yes, there are challenges to overcome, but these are
mainly challenges of convention, not technology and law.
